Can your mom afford to pay a professional (like a store that sells and repairs computers) to do this work ?

It's set to auto update, however, that doesn't work when the last time the laptop was switched on was 5 or 6 years ago.
She could afford it, but why shell out money when you can guilt someone to do it for free? Bother my father and sister have already offered to update the thing and my sister is willing to help my mother set up the iPad. That doesn't mean she isn't upset with me. My mother is very strict in who does what tasks and chores and taking care of electronics is apparently my job.
I did remember that she's got an external hard drive, I'm not sure if her iTunes library runs off it or if she just used it for back up, but most of her music library should be on it. If my father or sister doesn't update her laptop soon I can always get the store's laptop, install iTunes on it, set it so it reads the library from the external drive and transfer the music from there. Then delete iTunes again. However, I'd rather not. Because that would be something that I would have to do.
I had her once take the laptop to get it fixed after she got a virus on it. It meant that Windows would have to be reinstalled and I wasn't going to do that. She had to pay €75 for that, but it taught her the lesson not to download random crap.
